Thanks Snowaure, glad you like it! Yep, the gauntlets are fibreglassed now and I'm ready to start doing some bondo work with them! Yours look really cool

Good job. The helmet looks great. I like keeping some of the material in the visor area or putting in a temporary visor so that the helmet doesn't warp. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I wasn't sure whether it was still possible for something so sturdy to warp, so I kept in the bit at the bottom. I'll probably leave it right up until I'm ready to install the visor

Here are some updates!

The darker blue is RAL 5000 and the lighter blue is RAL 5015. I heard that the RAL 5000 is more accurate when it's mixed 1:1 with RAL 5001, but as this is still my first ever build and first time using spray paint, I don't mind too much if it's a bit off. Sorry that the pictures aren't that great, I'll get my proper camera out to take some when it's all done! The other ear piece is still covered in masking tape, so I'll take upload some of the other side tomorrow when it's properly painted.

The gauntlets are all fibreglassed and ready for some body filler; I just need to pick some up from Halfords. Woop! Should have some more updates for you in the next few days!

Sorry about the double post! Here's the top clamshell of the right gauntlet. Still need to add the dart housing, and there's lots more modding/detailing to do, but I primed this just to see where things were going
